More about T-Mobile

T-Mobile is the third largest
carrier of the big four US carriers and the second largest GSM provider, with
over 30 million subscribers. The company is owned by international
mega-telco Deutsche Telekom, serving as its US wireless operation, and can
trace its roots to the establishment of VoiceStream Wireless PCS in 1990.

T-Mobile is known for its
competitive pricing structure and superb customer service. In comparison with
other providers such as Verizon, it offers great value
plans, and since its recent 'unCarrier'
makeover, all plans are contract-free. The downside to this is that subsidized
phones are no longer offered; T-Mobile customers will either need to purchase
their new phone outright, or can opt to make a down payment followed by
monthly
installments over 24 months. If a customer decides to cancel their
T-Mobile service before their device is paid off, they'll need to pay out the
outstanding balance before switching to another carrier.

One of the definite pros of T-Mobile is its unlimited data
plans. Unlike supposedly ‘unlimited’ plans sold by competing carriers,
T-Mobile doesn’t throttle speeds when its customers reach certain download
limits, giving it a definite edge. Combined with the comparative affordability
of its unlimited plans, it’s a strong lure for customers who love browsing the
Web or social networking.

T-Mobile has positioned itself as the
Un-Carrier, innovating with such programs as making all their plans
'no
contract' and introducing 'early upgrade
plans' and many new features in the wireless market, most of which have
been copied by their competitors. T-Mobile's recent growth has seen it add
more customers than other networks so the Un-Carrier is on to something.
